This will not work if the installation was done with JetBrain Tool Box... any solution?

Make sure to change PhpStormPath to match your current path.

Thanks a lot.

This will not work if the installation was done with JetBrain Tool Box... any solution?

Please change the pycharm path as following:

C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Toolbox\apps\PyCharm-P\ch-0\223.7571.203\bin\pycharm64.exe

It works for me.

Use following code
If file not exists then will open the "Open File" dialog box for selecting "pycharm64.exe" file manually.

@mahelbir thank you so much

Thanks

Thank you

Legend! Thanks for posting

On my Win 11 this sctipt add context menu only for file, not for folder/directory. But I use https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html for add menu items manually
